Re: home made yard plugger

I'll be interested in how this works. I've considered building a plug type aerator but I thought I'd have to buy the pluggers. If your design works well and pulls plugs I'll have to give it a try. I had thought of something like that but thought they would just fill up solid and not actually pull the plugs.

Thanks all

It's not done yet and it will be a plugger when I'm done with it.
After all plug cutters are welded on I will drill threw the base of them all 132 of them evil looking things.
I will also cut channels in the end of the tank to let plugs out as it rolls.
Top will have box built to hold a bunch of case iron I have laying around.
Should weigh around 450 lbs when done.
Last but not least I'm going to add wheels that roll down to pick spikes off ground.

Thanks Carl

maybe I am missing something, I thought in your first post you indicated you are going to fill it with water, later you indicate you are going to drill into the tank to let the plugs clear out of the plug cutters
Please elaborate, I want a plug cutter and figured I would have to buy one

Re: home made yard plugger

I had seen one somewhat similar on another forum.
The problem they had was the spikes are on the centerline of the cylinder similar to yours and it didn't dig in that well.
Ended up he had to move them so they were closer to tangent to the outside of the cylinder so they were closer to vertical wen the cylinder was rotating.....Mike
